Questions & AnswersCategory: DairyWhat is Chy-Max?
Halal Seeker asked 10 years ago

Some of the cheese sold at Reid`s milk outlets are rennet free?

I saw a notice at one of these outlet said they use a substance called Chy-Max as a substitute for rennet. The company is Reid`s Dairy Co Ltd., Belleville, ONT.

Please up date on this.

Jazakallhu.

Chy-Max is the brand name of a microbial enzyme. There is no problem with consuming this ingredient. We were not aware of that fact and we thank you very much for bringing this to our attention.
